THE NAVIES.

GERMAN SUBMARINES, TWO \ACCOUNTED FOR. Received 5.5 p.m., Nor. 15th. LONDON; Nor. 14. It is stated in naval and wireless circles at Dover that two German submarines that were recently carrying out daring reconnaisances in the Channel have been destroyed. The first saved power'■■by remaining on the seabed for a lengthy period. Bubbles were noticed on a calm day at the end of October; dredging vessels were hurriedly collected and- dredged the area with powerful chains to which explosives were attached. One heavy explosion resulted, followed by the rise to the 'surface of a large quantity of oil. The seoond submarine that had been troublesome to warships operatin£ around Nieuport was trapped into rising, under the belief that a stretch of sea was deserted. Then the warships returned and shelled and sank her. '■ THE GOOD HOPE DISASTER. A MEMORIAL SERVICE. LONDON, Nov. 13.
